Chapter 321: The Siege of Kuncheng
Although the Nanyang army stubbornly resisted the invasion of South Vietnam, the news of defeat and loss of another city still came.
One by one, the bad news finally broke the emperor, whose body was already strong, and the emperor fainted directly in the court, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and there was chaos in the court.
The prince, who was still detoxifying, had to force himself to go to the court, but the prince had not participated in the affairs of the court for many years, and in the face of such a situation as Daming, his eyes were also black, and he didn't know what to do at all.
In the end, it was His Royal Highness the Ninth Dugu Chiyan who stood up and temporarily stabilized the situation in the DPRK and China.
But at this time, Dugu Chiyan suddenly told Ji Ruhuan that he was leaving Daming temporarily.
Ji Ruhuan was a little incredulous, thinking that the Nine Emperor Uncles were going to retreat, but after hearing the words of the Nine Emperor Uncles, Ji Ruhuan's expression changed several times.
She didn't expect that Nine Emperor Uncle would retreat at this time, but she didn't have any reason to keep Nine Emperor Uncle.
Dugu Chiyan looked at Ji Ruhuan's unpredictable expression and looked at himself without speaking, he was speechless and reached out to flick Ji Ruhuan's forehead, and reprimanded, "What do you want? I left Daming because I had a way to get Xixia to retreat." ”
"Huh?" Ji Ruhuan looked at the Nine Emperor Uncles in surprise, "You can make Western Xia retreat?"
Dugu Chiyan nodded and responded, "To be exact, it was the master who could make the Western Xia retreat, but I had to personally follow the Western Xia." ”
Ji Ruhuan finally had a happy look on his face, "Really, if the Western Xia retreats, then the northern border will be safe." ”
Dugu Chiyan sighed, "But I have to leave temporarily, you stay in Kyoto obediently, don't run around, wait for me to come back, you know?"
Ji Ru nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will wait for you in Kyoto obediently, you can also leave quickly, Xixia will withdraw its troops one day earlier, and the northern border will be safe one day earlier." ”
Dugu Chiyan stretched out his hand and nodded, Ji Ruhuan's nose, "Little one has no conscience." ”
Ji Ruhuan reached out and hugged the arm of the Nine Emperor Uncles, rested his head on the shoulder socket of the Nine Emperor Uncles, and said softly, "You have to be careful yourself. ”
Dugu Chiyan felt a little more comfortable in his heart, but thinking about separating the two places again, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There was not much time for them to complain to each other when they were separated, Dugu Chiyan followed Ji Ruhuan for a while, then entered the palace again, explained everything, and didn't have time to say goodbye to Ji Ruhuan, so he took Chunxiao and the old man Tianji to leave Daming Kyoto together.
However, the winter snow and autumn frost were left to Ji Ruhuan, and Sister Ling also stayed, probably worried that Daming Kyoto is no longer safe now.
When Ji Ruhuan rode to the city gate, he had already lost the figure of the Nine Emperor Uncles, so he had to return to the mansion in disappointment.
She also wanted to follow the Nine Emperor Uncles, but she couldn't leave Kyoto for the time being, she always felt that the Four Princes would definitely make a comeback, and she had to stay in Kyoto to guard, and she must not let the Four Princes succeed.
However, more than ten days have passed, Kyoto is calm, Nanyang has lost another city, and the northern battlefield has been lengthened, because there are advanced weapons to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Liaodong even came with bad news, the four princes actually took the 100,000 army of the Great Zhou to besiege the remaining 30,000 northern troops led by Ji Chengmu in Kuncheng, and they have been besieged for three days, and they launched a crazy entry into the palace in Kuncheng every day.
When Ji Ruhuan heard the news, he remembered the tragic death of his second brother in his previous life, and he also planned it, and his reddish eyes were full of hatred, and he couldn't wait to cramp and skin the fourth prince.
She must not let the four princes succeed, the forbidden army in Kyoto is also the Imperial Forest Army, it must not be moved, this is related to the safety of Kyoto, even if Ji Ruhuan wants to move, the emperor can't let her move.
This Wu Taishi took 100,000 Liaodong troops to hide without a trace, and now Daming has no reinforcements to support, Ji Ruhuan gritted his teeth and found Fengmanlou.
Hearing that Ji Ruhuan was going to take 10,000 people to Liaodong, Feng Manlou looked at her with his hands on his chest and said, "Of course I am at the command of the young master's wife, but are you sure you don't discuss with the young master before making a decision?"
Ji Ruhuan frowned and replied, "He's not in Kyoto, how can I discuss?" Since they have all said that they will listen to my orders, don't be verbose, hurry up and gather 10,000 people for me, and set off tomorrow." ”
Feng Manlou replied helplessly, "Okay, our Feng Manlou people were ordered by the young master to secretly support the forbidden army to ensure the safety of Kyoto, but there is no need to summon, the young master's wife can set off at any time with an order." ”
Ji Ruhuan nodded, "Okay, just gather outside the North City Gate, and I'll have someone send the battle armor and grain and grass over tonight." ”
After giving the order, Ji Ruhuan hurriedly left Fengmanlou and went straight to the East Palace.
The prince heard Ji Ruhuan's words, and said with wide eyes, "Are you going to Liaodong?"
Ji Ruhuan said helplessly, "If I discuss with my father, I won't have a chance to go, Your Majesty will definitely not let my father leave Kyoto, my second brother is in danger now, Kyoto can't send reinforcements at all, I have to go to him." ”
The prince was speechless and responded, "How can you save without reinforcements, it's a hundred thousand troops of the Great Zhou." ”
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and replied, "I have someone, it was left to me by the Nine Emperor Uncles, they are all good hands, you can prepare 10,000 sets of battle armor for me, 10,000 people of grain and grass, don't let Your Majesty and my father know." ”
The prince looked embarrassed, "You are like this, let your father and General Ji know, and you can't eat me." ”
Ji Ruhuan frowned and said, "Just say if you can help or not." ”
The prince looked at Ji Ruhuan and replied speechlessly, "You're like this, I can't help, I just hope that I will still be alive after you leave." ”
His Majesty fell in the court, and his body has not recovered yet, after Dugu Chi Yan left, many things have been handed over to the prince who is gradually getting better, this little thing is difficult for him, plus it is the war period, so he casually found an excuse, so he asked the people of the household department to send 10,000 sets of battle armor and several carts of grain and grass to the north city gate, and distributed it to 10,000 people outside the city.
And Ji Ruhuan returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, prepared everything silently, and planned to sneak out of the city with Xiaohua and Xiaojin in the middle of the night to join the 10,000 people.
However, as soon as he left the Zhenguo Mansion, he let Dongxue block it with Qiushuang and Jinling.
Jin Ling looked at Ji Ruhuan, who was dressed in black, with both hands on his chest, and said with a sneer, "You are really capable, are you going to run away quietly like this?"
Ji Ruhuan replied helplessly, "Sister Ling, I really have something important to leave Kyoto." ”
Jin Ling rolled her eyes, "Did I say I wouldn't let you leave Kyoto? ”
This time it was the turn of Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue behind Jin Ling to be anxious, and Dong Xue said with an anxious face, "Senior Jin, our master said that there is war everywhere outside, and the girl can't leave Kyoto." ”
